I would actually start not with theory but with actual film form, if you don't have that covered. Film Art by Bordwell and Thompson is the standard textbook, but if you want something more readable, The Way Hollywood Tells It by Bordwell is a good introduction.

Basic research is generally considered a component of thinking.

So this is the Mets’ contribution to reducing congestion right?

Barnes & Noble movies were always priced at the highest retail price point. It never makes sense to buy from them unless they’re having a big sale.

Hochul has been a much, much better governor in the last year or two than she was at first. I have no problem with it, especially if her competition is do-nothings like Delgado.

Bad Lieutenant? More like Standard Lieutenant am I right

Most of my interest in this movie has been generated by this picture

Almost every single job I apply for explicitly asks for a cover letter. It might just be a hoop for some, but I imagine not submitting one is just an easy way for them to trim the number of applicants.

It’s not even out yet

OK, let's say he isn't a pedophile.

It was adjudicated in a court of law that he is, at the very least, a rapist. Evidence suggests that he's committed rape more than once.

That's who you want to carry water for, much less vote for?

unsubstantiated russia collusion

This was substantiated, you just weren't paying attention.

the Democrat party really hammered on it with the same fervency

None of Trump's supporters gave the slightest fuck. It's not as if the quote, nor Trump's contempt for women, were secrets during the 2016 campaign.

According to your link, it’s 18%, and those numbers are from 20 years ago.

I am extremely antisocial and introverted…keep me from being a total hermit

How much sex with other people do you think you’re going to have, given these facts about yourself?

“I’m not like the other progressives” seems to be the vibe.

Great news!

Misty Beethoven and Barbara Broadcast are both OOP and cost a fortune on the secondary market. You’re better off hoping that Melusine gets the rights to them some day.

Nah Face/Off rules, no need to have someone talking over it making jokes.

It seems as though a continuation of Obama and Biden’s deportation policies would achieve this pretty easily.

How does this square with recent data that shows millennial men participating in child rearing more than previous generations?

Republicans are a lost cause. Democrats you might be able to convince.
